[PLUG-TALK] email hours etiquette

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

It won't ding if they have not given the email app permissions to do
notifications.  Most users turn off notifications from email apps because
they are just annoying.

Subject: [PLUG-TALK] email hours etiquette

For many decades, I sent email to computers that I and my correspondents log
into.  No ding or beep when a message arrives.  If a conversation is urgent,
I watch a scrolling window for replies.  If it is very urgent, or between
Europe or East Asia, I stay up late for it.

I don't use a "smart" phone (aka dodopaddle), so I don't understand
dodopaddle email timing etiquette in 2025. 
If I send an email at 1AM to a friend on the East Coast, does it cause phone
beeps that wake them at 4AM? 

I learned years ago to consider time zones when sending email to deployed
military and emergency responders, but is that true for everyone-but-me in
2025?

I am sending this to plug-talk at 1AM PST.  Flame me if it wakes you up.
